Future Forward: Thai opposition party cleared over Illuminati claims

A court in Thailand has acquitted one of the country's largest opposition parties after it was accused of having links to a mythical secret society.

A sedition charge against Future Forward alleged that it was influenced by the Illuminati and was seeking to overthrow the monarchy.

The complaint also alleged that Future Forward was influenced by the Illuminati, which conspiracy theorists believe is an elite secret society that seeks world domination. It said the party's symbol resembles an upside-down triangle that is often associated with the mythical group.

The complaint, which has been ridiculed by Future Forward, alleged that the Illuminati played a role in the fall of monarchies across Europe and was now seeking to do the same in Thailand.

Being accused of being anti-monarchist is very serious in Thailand. Sounds like the current regime will do anything to hold on to power.

it has to be wrested away. I don't think that we Americans are strong enough anymore to do that. It makes me sad.
